OBJECTIVE: To investigate the discriminative capabilities of different machine learning-based classification models on the differentiation of small (< 4 cm) renal angiomyolipoma without visible fat (AMLwvf) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Histopathological images contain morphological markers of disease progression that have diagnostic and predictive values. In this study, we demonstrate how deep learning framework can be used for an automatic classification of Renal Cell Carcinoma (R...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the ability of artificial neural networks (ANN) fed with radiomic signatures (RSs) extracted from multidetector computed tomography images in differentiating the histopathological grades of clear cell renal cell ...
The question of whether ultrasound point shear wave elastography can differentiate renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from angiomyolipoma (AML) is controversial. This study prospectively enrolled 51 patients with 52 renal tumors (42 RCCs, 10 AMLs). We obtain...

INTRODUCTION: Open Simple Enucleation (OSE) has been demonstrated to be an oncologically safe alternative to standard partial nephrectomy. We assessed the mid-term oncologic outcomes and predictors of disease recurrence in patients treated with Endos...

In this study, we compared the long-term oncological and functional outcomes of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) performed in the treatment of renal tumors. The data of 142 patients (RA...
OBJECTIVE: To determine the possible influence of segmentation margin on each step (feature reproducibility, selection, and classification) of the machine learning (ML)-based high-dimensional quantitative computed tomography (CT) texture analysis (qC...
